FAX 512/416-4510 RECEiVED January 24, 2005 JAN 2 7 2005 Mr. Steve Gillett Public Works Director City of La Porte 2963 North 23rd Street La Porte, Texas 77571 PUBLiC ~/ORKS RE: Pavement Improvement Grant Dear Mr. Gillett: Our current estimate for design and construction of the pavement and fencing improvement grant is $1,894,600. The design phase through bidding has been negotiated for $135,800. And the construction estimated is $1,758,800. This is just an estimate and until we open bids this is the best we have. As we are going through design, Bennie may have revised numbers. Since this project has been broken into 2 projects, I would like to request a resolution for $1,894,600. This way the city is aware of the costs. I am also going to present the design to our commission at their March 31 meeting. And then when we are ready to advertise for construction I will go back to get the construction phase approved. You will receive a new design grant in April and I will be billing you at that time for the $13,580 for design. Your share of the total cost is estimated to be $189,460. I am enclosing a sample resolution and a scope for construction. If! could get the resolution back by February 1, that would be great. If that doesn't work with your city council meetings, please let me know when you can get it back to me. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 512-416-4512.

Gillett Source of Funds: Airport Fund (010) Department: Public Works Account Number: 010-9891-825-1100 Report: Resolution: XX Ordinance: Amount Budgeted: $0 Exhibits: Resolution Amount Requested: $189,460 Exhibits: Letter from TxDOT Budgeted Item: No Exhibits: Cost Estimate SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On September 22,2003, the City Council approved an agreement with the Aviation Division ofTexDOT to accept a grant offer totaling $450,000 for improvements at the La Porte Municipal Airport. The grant has been increased to accommodate increased costs associated with the installation of lights ($850,000), and much of the original grant was delayed due to the cost increase. TxDOT has identified additional funds to complete the original scope of work, which is estimated to cost $1,894,600. The attached resolution outlines the detailed scope of work, developed in cooperation with the Airport Advisory Board, and authorizes the City Manager to execute all contracts and agreements with the State on behalf of the City. The projects identified include fencing and gate improvements (including motorized gates), and overlay and seal coating of taxiways and ramps. The scope of work is detailed in the attached resolution. The Resolution also names TexDOT as its agent for applying, receiving and disbursing all funds for the improvements and for the administration of contracts. Funding for the City's 10% share ($189,460) is available in the Airport Fund. This was not included in the current CIP budget. However, the funding will not be required until TxDOT has formally offered the grant and it is accepted by the City. Action Required bv Council: Approve Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all contracts and agreements with the State of Texas, and such other parties as shall be necessary for the implementation of the improvements to the La Porte Municipal Airport. Approved for City Council Ae:enda D~e~~~~~ ~-dd-05 Date
